Using a Signal Phrase

Garrow indicates that Martin Luther Kings often solemn demeanor belied his wit; long time intimates knew him as a relentless teaser and a perfect mimic(550).

In-text Citation

Willie warns society about the perils of exalting King, by idolizing those whom we honor, we fail to realize that we could go and do likewise (Garrow 625).
